Who isn’t immediately attracted to the bright colors, crisp lines, and repetition in Andy Warhol’s artwork? Not to mention the fact that Warhol himself was such a character, playing with the art world, celebrity, and fame.

One of Warhol’s most iconic images, that of the Campbell’s Soup Can, is now available for mass-market purchase. For 75 cents. That’s right. 75 cents for your very own piece of Andy Warhol art history!

My 16-year-old little sister, who is very in-the-know about all things makeup related, knows of my art obsession and texted me a link to this limited edition set of NARS lip glosses inspired by Andy himself.

Then she informed me that not only will there be lip gloss but a whole set of Warhol-inspired makeup, including eye shadow palettes pressed into a pattern based on his Flower lithograph, and nail polish shades inspired by colors used in his prints.

If this is all a little overwhelming to you, too, maybe we should turn to something a bit more educational than eye shadows.

Andy Warhol’s nephew, James Warhola, wrote a great picture book, Uncle Andy’s, about his childhood visits to his famous uncle’s apartment in New York. Educators here love to use this book for Story Time in the Galleries.

I don’t know about you, but stunned though I am with the overload of Warholian goodies, I am totally game for a fall full of Andy Warhol. Bring on more art in my day-to-day life!
